Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 419

Maurice immediately let go of Marguerite, straightened his disheveled suit, shot her a glance, and then turned around and walked away without a second look.

Hidden by the doorway, little Teresa ran into the kitchen and tightly embraced Marguerite.

"Mommy, are you okay? Did you get hurt? Did daddy hit you? Are you in pain?"

Her chubby little hands kept cleaning the tears that fell from her worried eyes.

"Mommy, don't worry, I will protect you! If daddy bullies you again, just shout my name! I'll come running right away!" Teresa suddenly thought of making amends with Frederick, because only by reconciling with him could she help bring him and her mother together.

Once they were together, Hayes’ daddy could protect her mother.

But now, she was on winter break and her mother kept a close watch on her, she couldn't even step out of the house, how could she meet Hayes’ daddy?

Marguerite squatted down and held Teresa in her arms, softly saying, "Sweetie, mommy is fine. Your daddy and I were just arguing, not fighting."

Teresa, however, held Marguerite's face in her hands, pressed her forehead against her mother's and pleaded, "Mommy, why don't you and daddy separate? You're not even married. I don't think you're happy with him. Don't worry, mommy. If you split up, I'll choose to stay with you. Can you please leave him?"

Teresa's maturity took Marguerite by surprise. She always wanted to create a carefree environment for Teresa, where she could grow up without any worries. But when Teresa occasionally showed a maturity beyond her years, Marguerite's heart ached incredibly.

She was suggesting that her mother should separate from Maurice, saying that he couldn't make her happy. How could a three-year-old child speak such words?

Yet, she couldn't leave Maurice. Teresa needed a father, and the whereabouts of her son were still controlled by Maurice.
